In terms of projects: I will be taking it slow and easy at first, then gradually increase the complexity of the projects. Simple projects in the early stage will have to fund the development of more complex stuff.
First order of business: getting a fitting 3D printed casing. This one almost fits. Need two/three more iterations to get to final form, then you guys can order.
Second order of business: strapping this nuclear disaster to the back of the phone. Ever used the flashlight of your phone to look for something in the dark? That experience will never be the same again.
Third order of business: wouldn’t you like to know?!
I do not know if I will be selling in my own webshop, will be directing it to the fairphone webshop or maybe even going for some crowdfund thingy. We’ll see how it goes.
For you to do:
get excited about your unique phone (should be the case already)
get excited about turning it from a rectangular slab into something crazy
Nice power supplies. I guess they can easily do watts as well! Some people here were thinking about something like a video/photography light here in another thread. What can you tells us about energy usage? And how do you want to avoid lights and camera getting too close (lights enters the lens directly). Do you have ideas for that already or isn’t it a problem at all? Thanks for being so … enthusiastic and good luck!
Hi !
This look super interesting !
But, just to be sure, the 3D printed case is going to replace the “original one” ?
Anyway, it’s great to have someone like you for this kind of stuff
Thanks for that. I’m happy with a big phone, but I don’t really drop phones and wouldn’t normally use a case so anything to make it a little bit smaller would be great.
Uh-oh. Not sure. I think it would be better to limit it, but maybe that’s just my personal preference … Yes, normally in this setup, you want the light coming from “behind” the lens.
I have for a long time, but now I am doing a lot of non-phone projects. Very busy with building my skill-set and getting payed projects.
But I prefer building completely useless crazy stuff for an awesome community. Think of something crazy to make, build two prototypes, throw it out there, get positive response, build a lot of them, next project. Way more rewarding, just not in a financial way. Lets see how it all pans out!
As far as I know uses wireless charging more energy then normal charging.
Therefore it conflicts with my FAIRphone. @Jerry How do you think about this?
Was thinking of this too, but then I thought of my WakaWaka power light and I realized that it only works well enough if you really put it in direct sunlight, which is something you wouldn’t want to expose your phone to on a hot summer day.
My top priority would be a keyboard similar to TOHKBD. Is Fairphone 2’s backside connector very different from Jolla’s one? Would it be much work to make a Fairphone 2 hardware keyboard?
Solar is stupid idea on a phone, if you want to know why, go here. Which is also the place to discuss it
USB host vs I2C. Different story al together, but generally USB is easier. Lets see how some simple projects pan out, then we’ll talk complex stuff like keyboards
